#/_A=19.8^@#, #/_B=99^@#, and #/_C=61.2^@#

Explanation:

Recall that the total sum of inner angles of a triangle is #180^@#.

Since #/_B=5/_A# and #C=4/_A-18^@#

Then we can say

#180^@=/_A+5/_A+4/_A-18^@#

Then we can simplify and get

#198^@=10/_A#

Then

#/_A=19.8^@#

Then we plug in to get

#/_B=99^@#

and

#/_C=61.2^@#
